Went with family two weeks ago. It was definitely pricey. The food was just above average which was a bit disappointing considering the price.If you like Ding Tai Fung flavors (Taiwanese), you probably would not like Ja Jiaozi as much since the flavor is much more mainland Chinese.

If you value your time highly, and JJ has no wait (restaurant was half empty when I went around Saturday dinner time) it's possible that this is the best dumpling choice around. The wait, parking, and ambiance I would all rate higher than my experience at DTF or A&J. I realize those two restaurants are very different, but they would be my first places in mind for dumplings.
